About this Item

The patterns on this beautiful 100% alpaca shoulder bag are inspired by ancient Inca motifs. The bag is crafted entirely by hand by the artisans of the Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco. They raise the alpacas and llamas to obtain the fleece; shear, dye and spin the wool; and weave the textile on a traditional waist loom. The fully-lined bag closes with a zipper and features an adjustable strap and an interior zipper pocket.

Classy and Yet Casual Handbag”

I was immediately impressed with the care taken in constructing this bag. The horizontal fabric goes all the way around for the body of the bag with only one seam. The base of the bag is squared well and stitched perfectly. The lining is nicely constructed and theres a zippered pocket for items that might be otherwise lost in the bottom of the bag.

Everyday This was a gift for Daughter-in-law Occasion: Christmas

Appropriate name!”

This is much roomier than the small shoulder bags, and can hold a wallet and papers as needed. Same soft feel and beautiful colors. A work of art.

large enough to hold all the regular suspects for carrying around in a purse
